Great for entrepreneurs
It is very easy to use and convenient for my customers
Pros
The ease of use for this product is amazing. I love how you can make a sale with the virtual terminal by either swiping a card or sending an invoice.
Cons
The fees per use can be cumbersome. However all pay portals have some sort of fee to use their product.
Reasons for switching to Square for Retail
Looks more professional and the way that charge back are handled more professionally.

Easy Sales and Storefeont
I was the one assisting a friend with setting up her storefront while working on mine as well. Through mine I invoiced to accept payment for items on hand or orders personally placed with me.
Pros
User friendly platform to load your storefront with products. Present templates that are also customizable to your liking. Integration of an inventory model to track what you have left on hand.
Cons
Have a plan for your products of offering multiple size and/or color options before entering on the site. It's much harder to edit and change the categories once it's set. Know what your page intent is as well ahead of schedule.
Reasons for choosing Square for Retail
Added alternative means for my customers to pay and shop.

Great Point of sale system
Awesome and after using two other point of sale systems we have had no issues with the system going down. Very reliable.
Pros
Easy to use! Download the App and get setup. I just recently bought their Square Register and it is awesome. Customer service will help you get the right APP for your business.
Cons
Been using their credit card device for well over a year and have never had any issues. There isn’t one thing i don’t like.
Reasons for choosing Square for Retail
Worked best for my business, and has so many options. Marketing, payroll, loyalty etc.
Reasons for switching to Square for Retail
Terrible customer service, terrible app and so many issues with their credit card equipment going down.

Cha-Ching, add MORE sales with Square
I do alot of craft fairs and want to provide customers the flexibilty & confidence when making their purchases. Square is a perfect solution, I can check my inventory, make multiple sales and email customer's receipt all within the Square App on my phone.
Pros
Square is user friendly and makes in person transaction a breeze. I am happy I could enter all my inventory, description and prices within the app. Making multiple sales is simple. Customer's recognize the square device on my phone and feel confident when I process their cards. The have the option to with swipe or tap. Most customer's input their email address or phone for receipts. I can also offer discounts, rewards and gift cards from the App.
Cons
Overall Iam happy with the using Square and have not had any issues yet. I've heard other merchants complain of lack of support. Also, if and when my business grows I may have to look into another service since it is more small business friendly
Reasons for switching to Square for Retail
Fees are a major pain point. I used to obtain the credit card processing machines from my bank but they are cost prohibitive for my small business. I only used the bank issued machines to provide customer's the convenience of using their credit card. Square fee's are more affordable, I wish it was around when I first started my company years ago.
